Grounded is the first Xbox Game to arrive to Nintendo Switch
The Nintendo Direct begins with everything! Grounded is the first game of the stream and the first game from Xbox Game Studios to arrive on Nintendo Switch.
Let's begin!
Where is the stream?
So far, Nintendo is running late for their stream on YouTube and Twitch.
Are you ready? Because we are ready! Just 10 minutes to go.
How long is the Showcase?
The event is scheduled to last 25 minutes. That may not seem like a long time, but you know how fast-paced the Direct is. It will be a never-ending series of games that we will only be able to look at for a few seconds.
To answer this question, we already have a whole article about the possible games we will be able to see. Although our wish list does not include Silksong, (which has been around for 5 years now), we do consider the arrival of Xbox games on the console.
It's time to grab your cup of coffee, because the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase will take place at 6:00 a.m. PT. You can check the schedule for the rest of the world in this news item:
Welcome to MeriStation's live Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase.
The big N will kick off this 2024 with an event focused, in its own words, on games from "developer and retail partners" coming out on Nintendo Switch over the next few months.
